A tragic incident occurred on Wednesday when a portion of the under-construction Dwarka Expressway Link Road collapsed, causing the death of a man. Shakeel, a 35-year-old resident of Rajasthan, was driving a JCB under the elevated road when a span between two pillars fell, crushing the vehicle and killing the driver. Emergency services arrived at the scene in Samalkha following a PCR call made to the Kapashera police station.
The site where the incident occurred is where construction of an elevated portion of the Link Road is underway. The supervisor and manager of the construction site were apprehended, and authorities are registering a case under relevant provisions of the law.
It is truly devastating that such an unfortunate incident happened. This news serves as a reminder for us to put safety before anything else, not just in construction sites, but in all aspects of our lives. Our hearts go out to Shakeel’s family and friends. May he rest in peace.
